We did another science activity on Wednesday. Students learned more about bones, skin, and finger prints and how useful all of those things are. We learned that bones hold our body up and protect vital organs in our body. We learned that skin helps keep everything in our body together. Students also learned that every fingerprint is different and unique and that detectives often look for fingerprints when trying to solve a mystery. That led us to our activity.

Students were going to be given cookies from a cookie jar when we discovered that someone stole the cookies. Students looked closely at fingerprints to figure out who stole our cookies. They were given magnifying glasses to look carefully at each of the fingerprints. Every group worked extremely well together to discover the culprit. In the end they were given a final clue to find the cookies. They figured out pretty quickly that the cookies were hidden under the couch. Here are a few pictures and videos from the experiment.
